Omitting his name can not hurt him but it will hurt Donna and all of his friends who are long time members of the the parent club. Jim ************************************* Yesterday I signed on to check the "atmosphere" on the list, and had a lunatic tell me that I am a know it all bitch and a legend in my own mind........opinions are like noses...<G>...she swore to not email me again, I can only hope......I bet she is still talking.....LOL Today I check in and find that we are now qualifying the GSD people to see if they can take 2 seconds of our time at the national by reading their name after they are dead. I can't wait to see what tomorrow is going to bring. Hopefully the Board will reconsider, and extend the national by 2 or 3 seconds to read the name of a man who contributed much to our breed, even if we disagreed with him, even if some hated him. Who cares now? Do we pass judgement on all the people that died the year before to read their names? What about the ones left behind, the living who care? Are their feelings not important? I guess we will have to do away with that National ceremony, eventually we will all be hated for some reason or another. I guess I just took a head start...<G> Please don't talk to me about rules. Many rules have been broken lately, and this is one that will not get the club in trouble. I don't know what Robert did, if anything. And today I don't care. But I can see what we are doing. Two wrongs don't make a right. I think we can be bigger than that. We sure expect that of our dogs. Maybe that will be my surprise tomorrow. Hope springs eternal.....
